Here are the solutions to the trigonometric equations.

: Find the value of θ\theta between 0∘0^\circ and 360∘360^\circ for the equation sin⁡(2θ)=0.5\sin(2\theta) = 0.5.

Step 1: Find the reference angle.
Let X=2θX = 2\theta. The equation becomes sin⁡(X)=0.5\sin(X) = 0.5.
The reference angle α\alpha for sin⁡(α)=0.5\sin(\alpha) = 0.5 is:

α=sin⁡−1(0.5)=30∘\alpha = \sin^{-1}(0.5) = 30^\circ

Step 2: Determine the quadrants where sin⁡(X)\sin(X) is positive.
Since sin⁡(X)\sin(X) is positive, XX must be in the 1st or 2nd quadrant.

Step 3: Find all possible values for XX in the range 0∘≤X≤720∘0^\circ \le X \le 720^\circ.
Since 0∘≤θ≤360∘0^\circ \le \theta \le 360^\circ, the range for X=2θX = 2\theta is 0∘≤2θ≤720∘0^\circ \le 2\theta \le 720^\circ.
In the 1st quadrant:

X=30∘X = 30^\circ X=30∘+360∘=390∘X = 30^\circ + 360^\circ = 390^\circ

In the 2nd quadrant:

X=180∘−30∘=150∘X = 180^\circ - 30^\circ = 150^\circ X=150∘+360∘=510∘X = 150^\circ + 360^\circ = 510^\circ

So, the values for XX are 30∘,150∘,390∘,510∘30^\circ, 150^\circ, 390^\circ, 510^\circ.

Step 4: Solve for θ\theta.
Substitute X=2θX = 2\theta and divide by 2:

2θ=30∘  ⟹  θ=30∘2=15∘2\theta = 30^\circ \implies \theta = \frac{30^\circ}{2} = 15^\circ 2θ=150∘  ⟹  θ=150∘2=75∘2\theta = 150^\circ \implies \theta = \frac{150^\circ}{2} = 75^\circ 2θ=390∘  ⟹  θ=390∘2=195∘2\theta = 390^\circ \implies \theta = \frac{390^\circ}{2} = 195^\circ 2θ=510∘  ⟹  θ=510∘2=255∘2\theta = 510^\circ \implies \theta = \frac{510^\circ}{2} = 255^\circ

All these values are within the range 0∘≤θ≤360∘0^\circ \le \theta \le 360^\circ.

The values of θ\theta are 15∘,75∘,195∘,255∘\boxed{15^\circ, 75^\circ, 195^\circ, 255^\circ}.

: Find the value of θ\theta to the nearest degree for cos⁡(3θ+20∘)=32\cos(3\theta + 20^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} where 0∘≤θ≤360∘0^\circ \le \theta \le 360^\circ.

Step 1: Find the reference angle.
Let Y=3θ+20∘Y = 3\theta + 20^\circ. The equation becomes cos⁡(Y)=32\cos(Y) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}.
The reference angle α\alpha for cos⁡(α)=32\cos(\alpha) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} is:

α=cos⁡−1(32)=30∘\alpha = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) = 30^\circ

Step 2: Determine the quadrants where cos⁡(Y)\cos(Y) is positive.
Since cos⁡(Y)\cos(Y) is positive, YY must be in the 1st or 4th quadrant.

Step 3: Determine the range for YY.
Given 0∘≤θ≤360∘0^\circ \le \theta \le 360^\circ:
Multiply by 3: 0∘≤3θ≤1080∘0^\circ \le 3\theta \le 1080^\circ
Add 20∘20^\circ: 0∘+20∘≤3θ+20∘≤1080∘+20∘0^\circ + 20^\circ \le 3\theta + 20^\circ \le 1080^\circ + 20^\circ
So, 20∘≤Y≤1100∘20^\circ \le Y \le 1100^\circ.

Step 4: Find all possible values for YY in the range 20∘≤Y≤1100∘20^\circ \le Y \le 1100^\circ.
In the 1st quadrant:

Y=30∘Y = 30^\circ Y=30∘+360∘=390∘Y = 30^\circ + 360^\circ = 390^\circ Y=30∘+720∘=750∘Y = 30^\circ + 720^\circ = 750^\circ

In the 4th quadrant:

Y=360∘−30∘=330∘Y = 360^\circ - 30^\circ = 330^\circ Y=330∘+360∘=690∘Y = 330^\circ + 360^\circ = 690^\circ Y=330∘+720∘=1050∘Y = 330^\circ + 720^\circ = 1050^\circ

The next values (30∘+1080∘=1110∘30^\circ + 1080^\circ = 1110^\circ and 330∘+1080∘=1410∘330^\circ + 1080^\circ = 1410^\circ) are outside the range Y≤1100∘Y \le 1100^\circ.
So, the values for YY are 30∘,330∘,390∘,690∘,750∘,1050∘30^\circ, 330^\circ, 390^\circ, 690^\circ, 750^\circ, 1050^\circ.

Step 5: Solve for θ\theta and round to the nearest degree.
Substitute Y=3θ+20∘Y = 3\theta + 20^\circ:

3θ+20∘=30∘  ⟹  3θ=10∘  ⟹  θ=10∘3≈3.33∘≈3∘3\theta + 20^\circ = 30^\circ \implies 3\theta = 10^\circ \implies \theta = \frac{10^\circ}{3} \approx 3.33^\circ \approx 3^\circ 3θ+20∘=330∘  ⟹  3θ=310∘  ⟹  θ=310∘3≈103.33∘≈103∘3\theta + 20^\circ = 330^\circ \implies 3\theta = 310^\circ \implies \theta = \frac{310^\circ}{3} \approx 103.33^\circ \approx 103^\circ 3θ+20∘=390∘  ⟹  3θ=370∘  ⟹  θ=370∘3≈123.33∘≈123∘3\theta + 20^\circ = 390^\circ \implies 3\theta = 370^\circ \implies \theta = \frac{370^\circ}{3} \approx 123.33^\circ \approx 123^\circ 3θ+20∘=690∘  ⟹  3θ=670∘  ⟹  θ=670∘3≈223.33∘≈223∘3\theta + 20^\circ = 690^\circ \implies 3\theta = 670^\circ \implies \theta = \frac{670^\circ}{3} \approx 223.33^\circ \approx 223^\circ 3θ+20∘=750∘  ⟹  3θ=730∘  ⟹  θ=730∘3≈243.33∘≈243∘3\theta + 20^\circ = 750^\circ \implies 3\theta = 730^\circ \implies \theta = \frac{730^\circ}{3} \approx 243.33^\circ \approx 243^\circ
